Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) estimated a mean undiscovered natural gas resource of 84,198 billion cubic feet and a mean undiscovered natural gas liquids resource of 3,379 million barrels in the Devonian Marcellus Shale within the Appalachian Basin Province. All this resource occurs in continuous

SHALE GAS AND SHALE OIL RESOURCE ASSESSMENT METHODOLOGY INTRODUCTION This report sets forth Advanced Resources’ methodology for assessing the in-place and recoverable shale gas and shale oil resources for the EIA/ARI “World Shale Gas and Shale Oil Resource Assessment.” The methodology relies on geological information and reservoir 3. Estimate risked shale gas and shale oil resource in-place. 4. Calculate risked, technically recoverable shale gas and shale oil resource (TRR). Our shale gas and shale oil resource assessment methodology consisted of four main steps: • Minimum TOC ( >2%) • Prospective Depth Range (1,000 m to 5,000 m) • Thermal Maturity “Windows” The first is the volume method by which geochemical and other data are used to calculate the prospectivity of a shale gas resource from first principles. The second is the analogue method where the shale oil and gas assessment is performed by comparison of the studied resource to well-known economic shale gas fields. Using a geology-based assessment methodology, the U.S. Geological Survey estimated undiscovered, technically recoverable mean resources of 144 million barrels of shale oil and 559 billion cubic feet of shale gas in the Mississippian Delle Phosphatic Member of the Woodman Formation in the Eastern Great Basin Province of Nevada, Utah, and Idaho. The “World Shale Gas and Shale Oil Resource Assessment”, conducted by Advanced Resources International, Inc. (ARI) for the U.S. DOE’s Energy Information Administration (EIA), evaluates the shale gas and shale oil resource in 26 regions, containing 41 individual countries, Figure 1.
